48. Sprains
"Childe, it's time for us to go. The master has already sent someone to urge him several times. Xiao Cheng came back from fetching water, and was relieved to see that his master was finally willing to come down from the tree. Maybe it's because I'm angry with the old man, since that day of departure, the son has been unhurried, and he has to stay for a few days when he sees something interesting on the road.
Seeing that he was about to enter Beijing, along the way, the people in the house came to urge him several times. Although he felt that he couldn't listen to his son no matter how much he persuaded him, Xiao Cheng still urged dutifully.
When the time comes, you will not be punished by the master.
Xiao Beiyue unhurriedly took down the grass in his mouth, and said casually: "Don't worry." ”
Xiao Cheng: ......
Sure enough, he knew. Xiao Cheng silently plucked a handful of bitter tears for himself. He's really hard.
"Young master, this is already on the outskirts of Beijing, while it is still early, let's delay a little less, and we can enter the city today." In this way, when the master sees you, he won't say anything more......" Although he knew that it was useless, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but whisper behind Xiao Beiyue and kept honking.
Hey, the young master and the old man are not close to each other, if they leave a bad impression before they meet this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse.
"Hmm." Xiao Beiyue leaned against the tree that Jiang Shuhui had leaned on, and responded absentmindedly. However, while listening, his gaze couldn't help but glance in the direction Jiang Shuhui left.
"Xiao Cheng." Finally, before Xiao Cheng's new round of chatter began, Xiao Beiyue interrupted him.
This is a guard that my grandfather asked him to carefully select after he grew up in his grandfather's house. Speaking of which, he didn't understand it either. Obviously, when he chosen, he valued Xiao Cheng's paralyzed face. Xiao Beiyue rubbed his ears, who would have thought, it has only been a few years, and the small facial paralysis has actually become an old mother.
"Young Master, what do you command?" Thinking that the young master finally wanted to open it, Xiao Cheng's voice couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Ahem." Xiao Beiyue coughed solemnly: "Do you know ......" Although he knew that he didn't have any thoughts, but it was the first time to inquire about a girl's family, Xiao Beiyue paused for a rare moment before asking: "Do you know whose family that girl is just now?" ”
Xiao Beiyue remembered the figure of a small group just squatting under the tree. is obviously crying, but it does not seem fragile, only full of unwillingness. It's rare to see someone say such a thing, but it's strange.
"Girl?" Xiao Cheng's voice was amplified in shock: "Childe, you actually saw the girl behind my back?" ”
Xiao Beiyue: ...... At this moment, he wanted to throw people back to Yongzhou from here.
Xiao Beiyue glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense? Rao is Xiao Beiyue usually doesn't pay attention to it, and he knows that this will tarnish the reputation of other girls. He regretted asking like that.
Xiao Cheng also realized his gaffe and silently covered his mouth.
However, after being quiet for less than a moment, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be curious, put his hand down, approached him little by little under Xiao Beiyue's unkind gaze, and then whispered: "I just inquired, near this mountain, is the annex of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, and the old Xuanping Hou has always lived here." What you see, maybe it's the girl in the Xuanping Marquis's mansion? ”
Xuanping Marquis Mansion? Xiao Beiyue was thoughtful. He was not in Chang'an these years, and he was not very clear about the situation in the capital. But since he is a marquis, if it is his concubine, except for the prince, I am afraid that the prince in the capital can choose at will, right?
The woman's choked voice was still in her ears. Crying so sadly, I think it should be a concubine.
"How old is the girl that Childe just saw?"
Xiao Beiyue shook his head. He only saw the backs of other people, and he usually didn't have much contact with women, so he could see how big it was. It's just that......
Xiao Beiyue gestured silently with his hand, and couldn't help frowning. That woman is too thin, isn't it an ordinary woman, all like this?
It's a lot of fun to stay here. Xiao Beiyue stood up straight, stretched his waist, and left a sentence lightly: "Let's go." He took the lead in taking the lead.

As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is the vines. In this orchard, almost all the fruits that ripen in autumn are available. Several people were very casual every time, and after talking to each other, they got up one after another to find their favorite fruit first.
Jiang Shurou liked grapes the most, and she was the only one who stayed in place. The trellis is very high, but in terms of height, it is not as tall as the fruit trees. This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Shurou is worried about injury when picking every year.
Unlike the remaining two who had to use the ladder, Jiang Shurou only had to step on a higher stool.
However, unlike previous years, this time Jiang Shurou stepped on it for the first time, and inexplicably felt that something was wrong. Forcibly picked two bunches of grapes calmly, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, Jiang Shurou decided to go down first.
Unexpectedly, she only moved her foot slightly, and then she felt that the stool was very smooth, as if she was stepping on ice. Jiang Shurou felt bad and hurriedly lowered her body. The maid on her side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly reached out to help.
In the next second, Jiang Shurou slipped off the stool and fell firmly to the ground. And her maid Yumian was also taken by her and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, although it is on the mountain, the terrain here is flat. The two only slid slightly for a short distance before stopping.
"Miss, are you alright?" reacted, Yumian hurriedly got up and pulled Jiang Shurou up by the way.
Jiang Shurou just wanted to say that it was okay, but she got together, only to find that when she moved slightly, her left ankle hurt her heart. She was speechless in pain.
Yumian saw Jiang Shurou's pale face, and realized that she was afraid that she was hurt, and while panicking, she turned around and wanted to ask why no one had come to help, but found that there was no one around them!
What's going on, there were still two people guarding here before Miss Ming went up.
didn't have time to think about it, Yumian could only help Jiang Shurou up with difficulty. With Fang Cai's experience, she didn't dare to let Jiang Shurou sit on the stool, so she could only spread her clothes on the ground and carefully help her sit up.
"Miss, is it sprained? Let the slave and maid show you. "As a maid, in order to take better care of the master, I have to know some bruises. Yumian only gently exposed Jiang Shurou's ankle and glanced at it, and saw that her ankle was already high and swollen.
Jiang Shurou's skin is very white, and the sprained area is bruised and purple, which is extremely terrifying to look at. Fortunately, in this way, it should not hurt the bones.
Yumian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, wait first, I'll call someone." Jiang Shurou was so painful that she couldn't speak, so she could only endure a small gasp and nodded.
Jiang Shurou also found out that there was no one around her, and this situation was obviously very wrong.
